Very comfortable stay for one night sadly. Stayed in a lodge room and it was spacious and spotlessly clean. Dinner and breakfast very good and all staff very friendly and helpful.
The castle itself was amazing, the food and service was great. The lodge was very nice but would say it doesn't measure up to staying in the hotel. I would recommend a castle room and take advantage of the beautiful dinner and amazing breakfast. Great value for a castle hotel! Would stay again.
This a star property and a must stay location if you're traveling in the area. The place is magnificent and beautifully updated to modern conveniences while maintaining the great charm of the historical castle and grounds.
Did not expect to stay in a fairly modern room several hundred meters from the castle, but it was clean and quiet. The breakfast was to die for and the setting inside the castle was exquisite. Loved our stay!
Excellent hotel in beautiful surroundings
Staff were very friendly and helpful
Accommodation was lovely and car parking just outside the door was very helpful for my mother
Love this Castle! Room was amazing and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again for a special occasion or just a weekend getaway while visiting Ireland.
Excellent grounds a good at the restaurant and bar. Also excellent adult beverages! It was warm and no air conditioning, that was the only part that was not super.
